Activia confusion, please help

New Member

Hi all, I am a newbie SW slimmer, joined SW online last week, and started the healthy eating on Sunday. I am following the EE diet as I can't get my head around the coloured days.
I am confused about the FAT FREE Activia Snackpots, when I look it up on the syns online, it says 0 syns for the pot. When I put all the details on the syns calculator it comes back 5 syns for EE, red & original.
Please can someone help, am I ok to eat my yogurt sitting on my desk looking at me, or am I wasting 5 syns????

Nope, they're free hun. The only one that isn't is the Peach snackpot (that's half a syn per pot).

Only use the calculator when you really have to. When you're using the it, you have to put in if there is any free food in what you're calculating - in this case, you need to make sure you select 'Eggs/Dairy' and then yoghurt. If you do that, it should come out as free

Ditto. If something is in the syns online, you don't need to use the calculator. It isn't as scientifically accurate as what the peeps at head office have already worked out, but is a good fall back for when you really can't find what you want listed x

Some things are beyond me; some are beneath me. Sometimes I lower myself to figure out those things that are above me. Mostly I don't give a sh*t

[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] (three and a half in total, but only joined group a stone ago! lol)

UPDATE: Since only losing <1.5 stone in a little over a year, going to SW group, and then watching half a stone of it creep back on, despite being totally on plan :sigh:, I'm now finding my feet in the world of calorie counting, and have lost 12lbs in 8 weeks - and am having a ball!

***That's it, decision made. Just realised I've lost a stone in 10 weeks with calorie counting - and I'm eating like a king***
